Anthony Scaramucci

It was just for me, I always wanted to have my own business.

That was one of my career dreams.

And so we pursue the paths that we pursue and life takes us where it goes.

But there's something in the book

I was dying to ask you about because threaded throughout this book, Lloyd, is you're coming into every room.

And the question is whether you are an establishment guy, Lloyd Blankfein, or are you a kid from East New York?

And the question I was dying to ask you was how much of your career was actually using that tension as a competitive edge versus just surviving it and it being a rite of passage for you?

Well, there's also an empathy.

I mean, it made you a better leader.

I mean, when I read your book, I see a person that –

has gone through every segment of the society economically.

And for me, the book reads very empathetically about your colleagues and it reads very empathetically about the role that you had.

I think you did a great job of remembering where you came from, but also recognizing where you had gotten to.

But there's always that tension.
